Dear patient
gutkha chewing can cause certain changes in your oral tissues (gums and cheeks
)which if diagnosed in time can be reversed and treated and if not then they can lead to more serious concerns.
Next Steps
Please ensure you get the mouth examined by a qualified dentist who can rule out any precancerous conditions and give you medication for the current problem
Health Tips
stop the gutkha chewing habit as soon as possible and start multivitamins to improve health and immunity till you get more specific medications
